Fall Installation at Palmer Alley in CityCenterDC - Where to Shop in Washington, DC

Where to Shop at CityCenterDC

Shop for fabulous finds at Downtown DC’s retail and dining haven, CityCenterDC

 

Fashionistas rejoice! CityCenterDC—an expansive, mixed-use development boasting boutique after boutique beckoning shoppers— has made Downtown DC the place to be when it comes to haute couture. The retail destination takes up several city blocks and features shops like Paul Stuart, Jo Malone London, Gucci, Hermès, Kate Spade and more. Whether you want to go on a shopping spree Pretty Woman-style or simply browse the latest looks, CityCenterDC welcomes locals and out-of-town fashion fans alike.

The outdoor destination is made up of several breezeways that make it easy to go from shop to shop (and stop in for a sweet retail refuel at places like Piccolina or Dolcezza Gelato & Coffee). In addition to women’s and men’s clothing boutiques, CityCenterDC also features glittering jewelry stores like David Yurman, French skincare shop and day spa Caudalie, and The Great Republic, a shop filled with rare, museum-quality Americana maps, books and more.

On warm days, you’ll find DC locals and convention-goers catching up with friends in the courtyard or dining al fresco at one of CityCenterDC’s many popular restaurants.

Finding the fashion

CityCenterDC, located near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the Marriott Marquis, is easy to spot and easy to find. The sleek white exterior is accessible by two nearby Metro stops, Mount Vernon Square/7th St-Convention Center (Yellow and Green lines) and Gallery Place-Chinatown (Yellow, Green and Red lines). The DC Circulator’s Georgetown-Union Station route also stops in front of the development at New York Avenue and 9th Street. There is a parking garage directly underneath CityCenterDC and most restaurants offer valet. CityCenterDC’s boundaries are New York Avenue NW, 9th Street NW, H Street NW and 11th Street NW.

Ease your shopping addiction any day of the week with a happy hour stop at Fig & Olive, Centrolina or Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, several restaurants in CityCenterDC that draw a consistent crowd.
